Natural Gas Well Monitoring
Application: Polling a Master Radio Transmitting Sensor
Data
Quatech Products Used: QSU-100
1 Port RS-232 USB Serial Adapter
Quatech's QSU-100 is used by a major natural gas producer
to implement a well monitoring system. Each well is monitored by an electronic
gas meter. Each group of wells uses telemetry and a master radio to transmit
data. Each master radio requires a dedicated serial port on the polling
computer, and Quatech's QSU-100 supplies the additional high-speed serial
ports required.
Interesting note: This customer attempted to use a low-cost generic
PCI bus card to implement this system, but after "less than desirable
results" turned to Quatech for our fast, easy , and reliable USB
connectivity solution.
